I found out that xubuntu spams users including me, which to me is a no go.

I'm looking for a linux based ad free distro that lets me work with libreoffice, vlc, tbb, transmission, okular, pdfarranger, hexchat, gimp and ocr.

I'm going to use it to edit text, watch movies, download multimedia, chat and edit audio with audacity.

it's not going to be a server and I'd like to work with the terminal as much as possible. At the same time, I'm a newbie.

    Cool ty. Advertising is a non starter for me so it sounds like KDE neon is the way to go. I also prefer a more minimalist approach (but not at the cost of stability) so that seems like a better fit too.

      I would advise taking either fedora or Mint KDE spins. The KDE 6 update was hard scuffed on Neon, and I take that as pretty strong evidence that their test infrastructure is not mature enough.

      This sort of event would be totally unacceptable to me on a system I needed to use.
